I STAND WITH MN - ABOLISH ICE. Critical thinking, common sense, compassion. Leave things better than you found them. Kindness is free. Never give in to fascism.

Trumpy's friends all fly private. Not sure who changed the narrative, but always happy to see Noem in "time-out"

Yesterday was always a part of the plan. ICE needs to incite the public in order for Trump to invoke the insurrection act. The good people of MN weren't taking the bait during the cruel ICE abductions or after the first murder. ICE murders will continue so Trump can achieve his goal.

It's disheartening that some feel this is a difficult choice

Assholery is a required trait of ICE. They are proud of it

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

F**k you Pam Bondi. The occupation has never been about public safety and you are proving it. Trump is such a corrupt, transactional pos.

ALL MN PROTESTERS

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

β€œ.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. β€œHe thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

Alex is attempting to guide the woman in the suv away from the area. ICE removes the woman from her vehicle and assaults her. Alex tries to assist her, is sprayed, beaten, and murdered.
ICE are the domestic terrorists
